The Daily Bowie #11 - "Sunday"

The Daily Bowie #11 - "Sunday"

"The beginning of nothing..."

I started to post this song yesterday, and then I realized that it was Saturday and the next day is Sunday, and so wouldn't it be better to post the song "Sunday" on Sunday?

"Sunday" is the first track on David Bowie's 2002 album HEATHEN.

Many people attributed the album's influence to the 9-11 attacks of 2001. No necessarily so.

FROM WIKIPEDIA: "Bowie denied that any of the album's songs were written after September 2001, though he admits that the songs deal with the general feeling of anxiety that he's had in America for a number of years, adding "it's not unlikely that you're going to have a sense of angst in anything that's recorded in New York or by New Yorkers." He has also said in a 2003 interview: "It was written as a deeply questioning album. Of course, it had one foot astride that awful event in September. So that was quite a traumatic album to finish. This one hints at that, but it's not really trying to resolve any trauma. [September 11] did affect me and my family very much. We live down here."

"SUNDAY" - Moby Remix

"Sunday"

Nothing remains

We could run

when the rain slows

Look for the cars or signs of life

Where the heat goes

Look for the drifters

We should crawl under the bracken

Look for the shafts of light on the road

Where the heat goes

Everything has changed

For in truth, it's the beginning of nothing

And nothing has changed

Everything has changed

For in truth, it's the beginning of an end

And nothing has changed

And everything has changed

[first voice]

In your fear

Of what we have become

Take to the fire

Now we must burn

All that we are

Rise together

Through these clouds

As on wings

[2nd voice]

In your fear, seek only peace

In you fear, seek only love

In your fear, seek only peace

In you fear, seek only love

In your fear, in your fear

As on wings

This is the trip

And this is the business we take

This is our number

All my trials, Lord

Will be remembered

Everything has changed
